I've tried that:

	[% set foo = "Collection Occasions<a href=\"" _ PUBLISH_DESTINATION _
	"/tech_spec/collection_occasions.html\"><sup>?</sup></a>" %]

	<tr><th colspan=2>[% filter("rt=COD",foo) %]</th></tr>

and so I still get:

file error - parse error - report.tt2 line 47: unexpected token (foo)
  [% set foo = "Collection Occasions<a href=\"" _ PUBLISH_DESTINATION _
  "/tech_spec/collection_occasions.html\"><sup>?</sup></a>" %]

Do you see the problem?

I want to prepend a global url to my parameter. 

This means I need to insert a template variable in the middle of the paramter
being passed to my macro.

So the question really is, how does template toolkit preprocess variables?
Before or after entering macro land? And how do I work around whatever those
limitations are?

Thanks,

Jens
